CSS has transformed the way forms used to get designed. CSS helps you make really good and attractive forms. Prior to this (CSS) the forms found on the web were very boring and were not able to attract a lot of visitors. Attractive or user-friendly forms can divert a lot of attention to itself. Even a simple form designed on CSS look slick and stylish. Using CSS form, you do not need to design the form from scratch. Today I have compiled a list of 30+ CSS form for you….take a look!!
This tutorial will explain how to design good form using clean CSS design with only label and input tags to simulate an HTML table structure. You can use all CSS/HTML elements to design your custom contact form for your web projects.
Simple CSS Forms is an easily-customizable forms setup that helps you create quick prototypes and final products of web sites. It is cross-browser compatible.
CSS Globe offers 5 web form styles, ranging from dark-and-slick to fun handwritten to old-fashioned letter envelope and more.
This form is coded in a semantic way and the elements are positioned next to eachother except for the last fieldset which spans the full width of the form below the 3 top fieldsets.
A simple blue form with rounded background corners, all styled in CSS and XHTML. The layout is pixel perfect, and the images can be customized to match your own requirements.
Prettier Accessible Forms – Nick Rigby takes a look at how to make better and accessible forms using CSS instead of old-school tables.
Simple CSS forms is an easily customizable forms setup that helps you create quick prototypes and final products of web sites.
Forms are not very friendly when it comes to CSS and each browser has its own way of handling them. Styles that work in one browser will not work in another, so depending on which browser you are using you will see a slightly different interpretation.
Comment forms allow visitors to leave their impressions about the content. Although the content is a king, general impression isn't negligible at all. Each element in a design can contribute to a better user experience. This applies to comment forms as well.
Niceforms is a script that will replace all the most commonly use form elements with custom designed ones. You may either to use the default theme that is provided or you can even develop your own look with minimal effort.
Using the button element, we can create buttons that are far more stylish.
Fancy Form – FancyForm is a powerful checkbox replacement script used to provide the ultimate flexibility in changing the appearance and function of HTML form elements. It's easy to use and degrades gracefully on all older, non-supporting browsers.
The example you're going to see is something that you use every day such as blog comment form.
WittySparks Complicated CSS Form is like the Simple version but, as the name implies, includes more form options. It still retains the fun-yet-professional vibe with the rounded corners and subtle colors.
how to design a clean and pure CSS form without using html tables. Code snippets is provided along with a download of the source code, so you can just copy/paste this bad boy into your stylesheet and web page.
A tutorial on how to take a standard form and make it special with some simple CSS tricks and techniques. This will improve the usability, aesthetics and layout, while picking up design cues from the existing design elements.
A tutorial on how to use pure CSS to style a web form dynamically. Code snippets are given along with a download of the source code for your convenience.
It shows how to create a simple two-column contact form using CSS to style structural elements that is both fast and accessible.
Formy is a CSS framework for better form management. The universal CSS interacts with an HTML form in a simple and natural way so that the form will work decently well even without CSS. The reason for this is there's a limitation to a form that's built purely with CSS: it becomes inaccessible if it's viewed in a browser that doesn't fully support the used CSS code.
This validation form is a real-time feedback to users, when they fill out the form, they will know what happened to see the color will appear. Fields that have not been properly will appear red and after validation is going to be green. This will facilitate the user when filling out the form.
RMSforms is a CSS forms framework that helps web designers avoid headaches by solving browser inconsistencies and making sure your form's layout is correct, both visually and semantically.
Form Help without Popups – A nice technique for adding help info to forms without using pop-up windows.
Semantic Form allows you to quickly build a form with terse, semantic markup and have it come out looking decent.
Form CSS is a basic but clean form style. Good for when you don't need bells and whistles with your style but still want it looking like something other than the web browser default.
It shows how to turn a boring web form into a beautiful one using CSS3. Code snippets are included along with downloadable source code for your copy/pasting convenience.
The CSS3 Forms Library styles text boxes, text areas, buttons, radios, and partially select drop downs.
Create beautiful web forms with CSS, what a good tutorial it is.
Ever eager to match the look of your HTML forms with the rest of your website? This article will demonstrate how to apply customized backgrounds to HTML forms, while preserving stucturally clean markup and accesibility.

Q: Morphism of vector bundles in the smooth setting It is a standard fact that if one wants good categorical properties from a map of vector bundles in the smooth category, say that kernel and cokernel sheaves are themselves vector bundles, one needs to work with maps having constant rank at each fiber. Then there exist trivializations in which the map has this simple form $$(x; v_1,...,v_r,...,v_n) \mapsto (x; v_1, ...,v_r, 0,...,0)$$ and it follows that kernel and cokernel are locally trivial.
These notes take a different approach, namely (definition 8.8):
A morphism between locally free sheaves $\phi: \mathcal{B} \to \mathcal{B'}$ is a morphism between vector bundles if the map on stalks has free kernel and free cokernel at each point.
Then problem 8.28 of the same notes basically asks to prove that for such $\phi$, kernel, image and cokernel sheaves are locally free, i.e. vector bundles.
This is exactly where I got stuck: it seems that the condition of being constant rank at fibers is stronger than having free kernel and cokernel at the stalk level.
How does one ensure that the rank of those free kernel and cokernel $(C^{\infty}M)_x$-modules doesn't vary from point to point? [I believe that if one can show that this rank is locally constant, then we are done - passing to fibers we will have constant rank on fibers, as before.]
In algebraic geometry it is a consequence of Nakayama-like statement that freeness of the stalk at a point implies freeness of the sheaf in a neighborhood, but I beleive it is not true for a smooth manifold; or is it?

A: We may as well work locally on $M$ and so assume our vector bundles are trivial.  So let us say we have a map of sheaves $\phi:F\to G$ where $F=(C^\infty M)^m$ and $G=(C^\infty M)^n$, which we can represent as multiplication by an $n\times m$ matrix $(\phi_{ij})$ of smooth functions on $M$.  Let $K$ be the cokernel sheaf of $\phi$.  I first claim that the dimension of the fiber of $K$ at a point $x$ is $n$ minus the rank of the matrix $(\phi_{ij}(x))$.
Indeed, the exact sequence of sheaves $F\to G\to K \to 0$ gives an exact sequence of fibers $F|_x\to G|_x\to K|_x\to 0$ (taking fibers is right exact).  We can identify $F|_x$ and $G|_x$ with $\mathbb{R}^m$ and $\mathbb{R}^n$ and then the map between them is just given by the matrix $(\phi_{ij}(x))$.  So, the dimension of $K|_x$ is just the dimension $n$ of $G|_x$ minus the rank of this matrix.
It follows that the dimension of $K|_x$ is upper semicontinuous: for each $r$, the set of $x\in M$ such that $K|_x$ has dimension at most $r$ is open.  Now I claim that if the stalk $K_x$ is free, then the dimension of the fiber is actually also lower semicontinuous at $x$.  That is, letting $r$ be the dimension of $K|_x$, I claim there is a neighborhood $U$ of $x$ such that $K|_y$ has dimension at least $r$ for all $y\in U$.
To prove this, suppose it is not true, so we have a sequence of points $y_k$ approaching $x$ such that $K|_{y_k}$ has dimension at most $r-1$ for each $k$.  That means the matrix $(\phi_{ij}(y_k))$ has rank at least $n-r+1$ for each $k$.  For each $k$, choose sections $f_{0k},f_{1k},\dots,f_{(n-r)k}$ of $F$ in a neighborhood of $y_k$ such that the vectors $\phi(f_{ik})(y_k)$ are linearly independent.
Now we are assuming $K_x$ is free and $K|_x$ is $r$-dimensional, so $K_x$ has rank $r$.  In particular, we can find sections $g_1,\dots,g_r$ of $G$ in some neighborhood $U$ of $x$ whose images in $K_x$ are linearly independent.  We assume for convenience that $y_k\in U$ for all $k$.
Now note that since the $\phi(f_{ik})$ are linearly independent at $y_k$, they are also linearly independent in a neighborhood of $y_k$.  So, looking in a small neighborhood of $y_k$, we have $n+1$ sections $\phi(f_{0k}),\dots,\phi(f_{(n-r)k}),g_1,\dots,g_r$ of $G=(C^\infty M)^n$, so they must be linearly dependent.  Since the $\phi(f_{ik})$ are linearly independent, a nontrivial linear relation must involve the $g_i$.  That is, there is some nontrivial linear combination of the $g_i$ which is equal to a linear combination of the $\phi(f_{ik})$ (in some neighborhood of $y_k$); say $\sum a_{ik}g_i=\sum b_{ik}\phi(f_{ik})$ where some $a_{ik}$ is nonzero at $y_k$.
Now we just glue all these relations together using bump functions.  Choose bump functions $\psi_k$ supported in small disjoint neighborhoods of $y_k$ and nonzero scalars $c_k$ which go to $0$ fast enough so that the sums $a_i=\sum c_k^2\psi_k^2a_{ik}$, $b_i=\sum c_k\psi_k b_{ik}$, and $f_i=\sum c_k\psi_k f_{ik}$ are all smooth.  We then have the relation $$\sum a_ig_i=\sum b_i\phi(f_{i})$$ on an entire neigbhborhood of $x$, where the $a_i$ are not all $0$ in any neighborhood of $x$.  This means that the $g_i$ are not actually linearly independent in $K_x$ (since there is a linear combination of them which has nontrivial coefficients in any neighborhood of $x$ and is equal to something in the image of $\phi$).  This is a contradiction.
Thus, assuming $K_x$ is free for all $x$, the rank of the fibers of $K$ is not just upper semicontinuous but continuous (i.e., locally constant).  In other words, the matrix $(\phi_{ij})$ has locally constant rank, which means as usual that the kernel and cokernel sheaves are locally free (on open sets, not just on stalks).

The Air Force is actually United States's air and also area troop. It is equipped with combat-ready aircraft as well as ships to guard the country. Furthermore, it participates in altruistic and also peacekeeping purposes.
The Marine Corps gives land and sea-based battle help. They have a long past history and a prominent history of service.
There are greater than sixty career specializeds in the Naval force. These professionals consist of physicians and dental experts, physical therapists, and also various other professionals. A few of them have participated in medical universities throughout the country.
There are actually additionally armed forces medical doctors that originate from the Military, Navy, or even Air Force. During the course of times of battle, the Coastline Guard may enter into the Navy. Having said that, in the course of peacetime, they are under the legal system of the Department of Birthplace Surveillance.
Special procedures aeronautics units
Special functions aviation systems of the United States military are in charge of carrying out surveillance, assault as well as other unique purposes. They are actually commonly conducted in the evening or in repulsive weather. These planes have special abilities like secrecy and also close air help. Additionally, they can easily provide Military unique procedure troops with preciseness accuracy.
The 160th Exclusive Operations Air travel Program is part of the United States Army Special Workflow Control. It is one of the best-equipped as well as many respected units of its kind on earth. Established coming from add-ons to the 101st Airborne Department, it rapidly became the Military's leading night-fighting chopper system.
Due to the fact that its own founding, the 160th SOAR has responded to many purposes at the ask for of the President as well as National Control Authority. It has focused on long-range low-level evening penetrations of foe airspace.
The 160th SOAR (A) is actually based at Ft Campbell, Kentucky, as well as has pair of forward-deployed providers situated in the USA Southern Command and Pacific Demand places. A 3rd business is actually based in Seeker Army Airport, Georgia.
Battle of Plattsburgh
The Struggle of Plattsburgh occurred on September 11, 1814, in the War of 1812. The Fight of Plattsburgh is actually memorialized through the Struggle of Plattsburgh marker put up in 2014 outside the Battle of 1812 Museum in Plattsburgh, New York.
Lieutenant General George Prevost, the governor general of Canada, was actually intending to occupy the US soldiers's bottom at Plattsburgh, The Big Apple, as well as set up a new naval supremacy on the waters of Lake Champlain. He sent out an armada of British naval ships under Captain George Downie to attack the United States squadron. A few hrs later, the English squadron was beat.
The British were also intending to assault the United States naval force in Cumberland Gulf. McDonough, the leader of the US Naval force, made a decision to combat at anchor. Prior to he got here, he punched the sailors in ship switching and preparing to handle a relentless long gun war.
The Philippine-American Battle (also called the Philippine-American Struggle or even the Philippine-American War) was actually a three-year long battle in between the USA and also Filipino revolutionaries, which took place from February 1899 to July 1902. The war is actually an instance of a struggle that created out of a long-running problem for self-reliance coming from Spain.
In the Philippine-American War, a lot of private citizens passed away. These deaths were actually triggered by cholera, meals, and jungle fever deficiencies. Nevertheless, it is necessary to note that the conflict likewise took remodelings in the commercial infrastructure and authorities of the Philippines.
Several Americans who fulfilled in the Philippine-American Battle were actually killed. An overall of 4,200 passed away.
During the course of the war, a simulated fight of Manila was actually secured by the U.S. imperialists to validate their colonial abandonment of the metropolitan area. It was alonged with an initiative called "souls and also thoughts." This featured reforms in the budgetary unit, education, and public construction tasks.
Numerous resistance fighter boxers remained in the Philippines after completion of the battle. They hurt captured soldiers and also terrorized private citizens. Taft disregarded the continuing to be resistance movements as brigandage.
The Battle of Plattsburgh happened on September 11, 1814, in the War of 1812. It is actually taken into consideration through some army historians to have been one of the essential fights in the battle. At the point of the battle, Britain was actually forced to pull back as well as shed its own hold over the Terrific Lakes. The Struggle of Plattsburgh is actually hallowed by the Battle of Plattsburgh marker set up in 2014 outside the War of 1812 Gallery in Plattsburgh, New York.

Q: Javascript - Class - Method Returning Undefined When Calling Constructor Property I'm currently learning Javascript. When I run the following code, I am getting undefined. Not sure what is wrong. Everything seems to be fine. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
class User{
  constructor(){
    this.array = [1, 2, 3]
  }

  static getNumber(){
    return console.log(this.array)

  }
}

User.getNumber()

A: First of all, you have to create a new instance of User with new User() or new User if you want to be able to access instance properties (such as array), because they are created with this.array = .... From the Mozilla Web Docs:

The static keyword defines a static method or property for a class, or
a class static initialization block (see the link for more information
about this usage). Neither static methods nor static properties can be
called on instances of the class. Instead, they're called on the class
itself.
Static methods are often utility functions, such as functions to
create or clone objects, whereas static properties are useful for
caches, fixed-configuration, or any other data you don't need to be
replicated across instances.

Because getNumber is called on the constructor itself, it doesn't have access to any of the instance properties (the only one is this.array). When new User is called, it creates the this.array, but only for the instance, not the constructor.


Today the Supreme Court of the United States will hear oral arguments in Fisher v the University of Texas, a case which we have written about, and you should know about as far as its chances to change affirmative action law in this country. The case is being hailed as a "pivotal," "landmark" case in race relations by many outlets. Many are watching closely as this seminal case is being decided (our very own djonesmhc is stationed on the SCOTUS steps right now) and are waiting for the decision to come down. It could end up either as a narrow decision applying only to this case and Texas' racial education policies, or a sweeping judgment on affirmative action policies as a whole in the country.
And I can't see for the life of me how it even got this far.
Let's look at the facts first. Abigail Fisher, a white woman and the plaintiff in the case, filed suit after being denied admission to the University of Texas at Austin on the grounds that she was discriminated against because of her race. I'm no legal mind (again, check the above 40 Acres post for more on that end), but under Texas' education plan, the top 10 percent of every high school in Texas receives admission into UT-Austin, regardless of race. Fisher fell short of that mark in high school, which put her at a disadvantage (due to talent or ethic, not race), since only 19 percent of freshmen admitted to UT fall outside of those admitted under the plan, with only 10 percent being in-state students (less than 1000 students). In that pool of about 1000 in-state students admitted independently (out of the whopping 31,000 who apply), admissions are considered as they normally are in colleges, with a portfolio of scores, grades, and more subjective items like interviews, extracurriculars and race counting towards an applicant's likelihood of acceptance. Now sure, there may have been applicants of other races with similar portfolios who were accepted, but when you're in a pool of only around 1000 students, things are always going to be, to some extent, a crap shoot. Not to be too down on Ms. Fisher (because coming down to earth from a position of privilege is understandably hard), but it seems to me like the biggest beef she has…is with herself. If you know only about 3 percent of all students who apply to UT are in-state students outside of the top 10 percent of their classes, then it would probably behoove you to get better grades. Or go to another solid school (like LSU, where Fisher received her degree).
But less about the actual case, per se, and more about what I think it really means.
We basically have a woman who is alleging that she was denied her spot solely based on race, despite her own performance landing her the same odds of admission as rolling snake eyes, whose case has made it ALL THE WAY TO THE SUPREME COURT. On a campus where 25 percent of the population is Black or Hispanic (compared to 50 percent statewide), and in a state where arguments for "reverse racism" (at least in specific cases) should be weakened because of the "top-ten" policy, this case has made it all the way to the highest arbiter of justice in our country. I don't know why it's gotten to this point, and while a counterfactual analysis is impossible, I can almost guarantee that had any Black student in her position made this case, even in a land without affirmative action, it would have begun and ended with the University sending a letter home with a big fat, "Welp," on letterhead. I can't help but think that the very prominence of the case is based on "pulling the race card", and is indicative of White privilege. Again, I'm not saying anyone is being purposefully racist or hateful here, just that certain people still get further with certain (silly) things than other folks.
Pull yourselves up by your bootstraps.
To be clear, Black privilege is a myth. It doesn't exist. It is the result of a false equivalency where somehow people are allowed to complain at all of the things we "get" to do that they can't. And those things are so petty and ridiculous. We get to say words that you can't, we get to listen to hip-hop in our offices, we get more people into sports, and SOMETIMES we have an extra point for us when applying for positions or slots. But I guarantee you that for every minority that gained a leg up because of affirmative action, one more was denied a position because they, "didn't fit the company profile," or were, "too threatening," or had an, "unprofessional name." In spite of the Affirmative Action Leviathan, Black privilege surely doesn't show up anywhere in national jobs or education numbers, where we have upwards of 15 percent unemployment and college representation that only approaches half that of our real population. There can be no Black privilege when laws still target us unfairly and we are incarcerated at rates that are orders of magnitude higher than those of Whites for the same crimes. Where is the Black privilege in inner-city neighborhoods and elementary schools?
Up until only 40-years-ago-or-so, White privilege was codified law in this country (hell…there are several arguments to be made that it still is). Centuries of terrible policies don't just vanish by giving everyone the right to vote and insisting on "looking past race". We have to talk about race and not be so ashamed of acknowledging the things that, fairly or unfairly, come with being born a certain way. You don't get to a place of equality by telling everyone to just stop playing racist. You have to work hard at it. You have to make people work against their prejudices. If Fisher's allegations are true, and she did lose a spot because of her race, hers is one of a few regrettable instances that would diminish if we actually tried to end racial disparities with stronger policies, whereas a reversal would only further shift those disparities toward already disadvantaged groups. There is danger in thinking that removing policies to help people overcome is equivalent to holding people back who are already ahead because of historical circumstances. The reason we don't need affirmative action now is because we need something more, not something less.

Fighting in Nagorno-Karabakh region: Pro-Armenian forces report two helicopters have been shot down – Politics
ga September 27, 2020
Pro-Armenian rebels in Azerbaijan's Nagorno-Karabakh unrest region said they shot down two Azerbaijani military helicopters on Sunday morning.
Earlier, the Azerbaijani army had bombed the region with an Armenian majority early Sunday morning, the rebels said. Targets in Stepanakert, the regional capital of Nagorno-Karabakh, were also attacked.
The two Caucasus states of Armenia and Azerbaijan have been in conflict over control of the Nagorno-Karabakh region for nearly 30 years. Mainly inhabited by Armenians, Nagorno-Karabakh was added to Azerbaijan during Soviet times. Pro-Armenian rebels took control of the area in the late 1980s. In 1991 Nagorno-Karabakh declared its independence, but the area is still not internationally recognized as an independent state. (AFP)

Q: File Permission - access denied I am making an application in php and i have to test certain directories(lets say "abc" folder) file permissions and i have to create a new file dynamically ,lets say "file" in directory "xyz" .. I want "abc" to be readable and writable by webserver(i.e. 666) and in order to be able to create file in directory "xyz" am checking it for readable and writable mode too(i.e. 666)... And here is what it prints
xyz directory - 777
abc directory - 777
But when i try to
$data = 'Some file data';
                        $fh = fopen($rootdir."\\file.php","r+");
                        if ( !fwrite($fh,$data))
                        {
                        //echo $rootdir;
                        echo 'Unable to write the file';
                        }
                        else
                        {
                        echo 'File written!';
                        }
                        fclose($fh);

$rootdir contain address of folder "xyz" ... It shows following error
Message: fopen(C:\inetpub\wwwroot\file.php) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied
As i said C:\inetpub\wwwroot file permissions are 777.. And initially file.php don't exist but fopen will create it.. isn't it? And in case it won't, how can i create file dynamically?
Any help ?

A: $fh = fopen($rootdir."\\file.php","r+");;

will not create the file if it doesn't exist.
To create file you need to use
$fh = fopen($rootdir."\\file.php","w");

Or
$fh = fopen($rootdir."\\file.php","w+");

Refer to this this

A: Windows/NTFS uses an ACL for file permissions.
In the file property dialog box "security" tab, you need to give the user "Internet Guest Account ([something]/IUSR_[something])" write access, or full permission. You've done this?

*

*Right click on the file

*Click "Properties"

*Click the "Security" tab

*Find the user: "Internet Guest Account"

*Set the necessary permissions

If you want to IIS to be able to create files, you need to make sure you have these ACLs set up correctly on the folder.

Carers UK and Centrica win Better Society Awards- 'best partnership with a national charity'
No account? JOIN US
Carers UK and Centrica are delighted to have won the prestigious award for 2021, in recognition of the significant achievements of an innovative three-year strategic partnership.
Around 65% of us will care for someone in our lifetime and Carers UK is here to make life better for unpaid carers looking after family and friends who are older, disabled or chronically ill. The collaboration between the charity and the energy services and solutions company has successfully built on the charity's purpose and Centrica's existing core value of recognising and valuing carers amongst its workforce and customers.
In 2019, the two organisations combined forces and began to build on a long-standing relationship to make lasting changes for more unpaid carers to access support. The partnership has also helped Centrica lead the way in creating a blueprint for other companies to follow, through specially commissioned research and campaigns as well as furthering good practice.
The pandemic has been especially stressful for unpaid carers and the numbers of those taking on extra caring responsibilities have massively increased by an estimated 4.5 million. Many are exhausted and there has never been a greater need for support for those providing unpaid care. Centrica helped Carers UK respond quickly to the initial impact of COVID-19, directing extra financial support to the charity's Helpline, enabling its hours to increase by 275% to meet the increased demand.
British Gas, of which Centrica is the parent company, has rolled out workforce training and the use of a 'carers flag' across its customer contact workforce in the last year. This has helped carers to be more easily identified and offered support during customer calls.
Other highlights have included 'Share that you Care,' a campaign which included the creation of an online carers' hub and award-winning film Two Sides of the Story. This set out to improve Centrica customer and public understanding of the issues carers might experience and where to get support. The film succeeded in being one of the most-shared content ever for British Gas on its social channels and was also shown in cinemas.
Commenting on the award-win, Helen Walker, Chief Executive of Carers UK said: "This award is fantastic recognition of our three-year partnership with Centrica, the results of which we're incredibly proud. Corporate partnerships have the ability to create lasting change and we really feel that this partnership is a great example of how this can be achieved, delivering greater visibility, understanding and support for carers through a clear vision for the long-term."
Abi Robins, Director of Responsible Business at Centrica said: "We have been honoured to work with Carers UK to help improve the lives of unpaid carers. It's a fantastic achievement to win this award and we will continue to support the carers in our workforce and customer base. It is vital that services and wider organisations recognise the increasing numbers of carers and introduce policies and processes that support them."
Carers UK is here to make sure that carers get the help and support they need right from the start of their caring journey. The charity gives expert advice, information and support to carers and campaigns for better recognition, understanding and appreciation of the essential job carers do.

I was at that Greater Milwaukee Open where he got that hole in one. It was at Brown Deer. Tiger just starting off early in his career. One thing I loved about Tiger is he went straight for the hole. He liked to gamble. All the golfers nowadays are pussies.
Golf will never be this exciting again. Ever.
Rafa must have watched a lot of Tiger Woods lol. If you know what I mean, we're cool.
Tiger Woods DUI video lead me here, because this is still Tiger Woods, gold.
I wish I was his caddy..
he was amazing now it's kind of sad to watch him play.
And didn't the sports media live him right up until the world found out, he was putting in the rough after hours, behind his wife's back.
Miss seeing Tiger playing on Sunday.
it's likes these balls have magnet attached to them….
The greatest player in my lifetime, what a privilege to have seen him live at his peak.
What made him great was his ability to focus on the present moment. That's all we ever really have. My guess is that all you gentle readers are having a better present moment than Tiger.
He brought life and energy to the game.
What a waste of talent….
new to golf here.. how is this even possible physically?!!

Interim President Bernstein Delivers 2019 State of the University Address
Praising Stony Brook University as "an elite — however no longer elitist — group," Interim President Michael Bernstein introduced the yearly State of the University Address on Wednesday, October sixteen, on Staller Center's Main Stage. We are nicely poised to do present-day studies, scholarship, and artwork-making in all regions of challenge in our international exactly due to who we are," Dr. Bernstein stated.
"That is a part of our venture, our legacy, and indeed: it's our story. Our university demon. Still, thenot best the nice of what American higher training has to offer, but the array, and certainly the total 360-diploma richness, of what American better schooling has to offer," he said. Addressing an enthusiastic target market representing all areas of the college, Dr. Bernstein emphasized the importance of shared governance in making plans for the university's destiny. He was hailed with a standing ovation at the belief of his feedback.
We usually want to facilitate faculty, staff, and scholar achievement," he stated. "Where our faculty's mission is secured, our students are graduating on time and securing the schooling they want, wherein our workforce is powerful and fulfilled of their roles, our college prospers.
Bernstein shared key strategic initiatives for the coming 12 months, including facilitating the achievement, accomplishment, and advancement of school, body of workers, and college students; selling range and inclusive excellence; and demonstrating prudent stewardship of all sources, human, economic, and environmental.
He burdened the University's commitment to allowing studies to impact lives and better the sector we stay in. Additionally, he pointed out improving the monetary improvement and power of the area and kingdom, striving to be an exquisite business enterprise of choice, and finally a worthy and thoughtful neighbor to surrounding communities.
Stony Brook is still a vital contributor to the Long Island financial system, he stated, referring to the latest report displaying that the university's basic financial impact exceeds $7 billion yearly.
Bernstein laid special emphasis on range and inclusive excellence, noting that the college will spend money on greater recruitment and hiring and the advent of a Center for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Education and Instruction to assist with implicit bias attention and training.
We are devoted to the range and inclusive excellence, first and predominant because we're devoted to fairness and equity," he stated. "We resolutely believe — as pupils, as scientists, as educators, as artists — that a numerous and inclusive populace generates ultimate results.
In mild inclusiveness, the Interim President took observe of International Pronouns Day.
"My pronouns are he/him/his," he said, marking the observance as "a day to respect, share and train approximately private pronouns. Bernstein painted an optimistic photograph of the University's finances scenario, noting the progress made in stabilizing the budget regardless of the pressures, demanding situations, and difficulties required to enhance revenue and manage prices. He recognized price range priorities inclusive of variety and inclusion initiatives, pupil fulfillment, the boom in studies, scholarship, artwork-making, and institutional performance and effectiveness.
"We will spend money on our students, we can invest in our college, we can make investments to maintain and strengthen diversity and inclusion across our business enterprise," he stated. Bernstein highlighted the University's recent national scores and popularity, such as its designation by using the Wall Street Journal as the No. 1 public college in New York State.
As is normal at the State of the University, the President welcomed the newly hired college and congratulated new participants of the leadership crew. He also indexed an impressive roster of prestigious awards and honors granted to faculty and college students during the previous 12 months, together with Heather Lynch's Blavatnik Award, Peter van Nieuwenhuizen's Breakthrough Prize.

In conclusion, Bernstein meditated on the college's ancient roots, highlighting the centrality of public better training to American history and the crucial importance of interdisciplinary endeavors to deal with international problems.

The Grade 1 $750,000 Jockey Club Gold Cup
There will be a major prep for the Breeders' Cup Classic on Saturday at Belmont Park. The Grade 1 $750,000 Jockey Club Gold Cup takes place on what is promising to be a wet day in the New York area. I would expect the track to be off a bit, but hopefully it won't be too bad to affect the remainder of the races that are scheduled to take place on the turf. Here is the analysis:
#1 Flat Out- I think this one might be the one to beat in this field, but I am not really a fan of his 7-5 pricetag, especially coming off back-to-back runner-up finishes. Granted, two Horse Of The Year candidates beat him, but 7-5 is tough to accept.
#1a Birdrun- Has yet to run with his entrymate in any of his recent starts. He did convincingly win the 1 1/2 mile Grade 2 Brooklyn on June 10, defeating Drosselmeyer along the way, who will also be a part of this field.
#2 Ice Box- Is it just me or was his last good race the 2010 Kentucky Derby? He is 0 for 6 in the subsequent starts and has only hit the board in one of that sextet. Corey Nakatani will be aboard.
#3 Rodman- He could go to the front or he could sit off of the pace. There is no consistency in his running style. He returns from a layoff here after getting drilled in the Whitney at Saratoga on August 6.
#4 Stay Thirsty- The current favorite for top three-year-old honors is looking to springboard into the Breeders' Cup Classic with a win here. He dominated his two races at Saratoga, the Jim Dandy and the Travers. Curiously, he is 0 for 2 at Belmont with two seconds.
#5 Drosselmeyer- Goes turf-to-dirt after a dismal showing in the Sword Dancer on August 13. The former Belmont winner has the best wet Tomlinson number in the field. I think he might be worth a serious look at odds of 6-1 in here.
#6 A.U. Miner- Calvin Borel guided this one to a win in the Greenwood Cup at Park last time out July 16. Might have won the Breeders' Cup Marathon last fall had he not been badly hampered on the final turn. Don't think much of his chances in here.
TOP FOUR SELECTIONS- 1-5-4-3

Breeders' Cup Hero: Tikkanen
The winner of the 1994 Breeders' Cup Turf at Churchill Downs was Tikkanen (pictured), who was dead last the first time the field of fourteen passed beneath the Twin Spires and was first when it counted most under jockey Mike Smith. Tikkanen paid $35.20 to win in the 1994 Turf, mainly because third-place finisher Paradise Creek was less than even-money to win. After the favorite, the next two favorites were both 7-1, so Paradise Creek getting beat was clearly a large upset. Tikkanen at 16-1, though, was somewhat of an overlay, especially given that he had won the Grade 1 Turf Classic Invitational before that Breeders' Cup triumph. He managed to set a track-record for the 1 1/2 miles distance at Churchill Downs. Tikkanen was never able to recapture that form after those two Grade 1 wins. In fact, he ended with only four lifetime victories from his eighteen career starts, earning a total of $1,599,355.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about Tikkanen is where his name came from. He was named for famed National Hockey League enforcer, Esa Tikkanen. Tikkanen started his career in Edmonton, where he played with, among others, Wayne Gretzky and Jari Kurri. Tikkanen also played with the New York Rangers, St. Louis Blues, Vancouver Canucks, New Jersey Devils, Florida Panthers, and Washington Capitals during a career that produced five Stanley Cup victories. You might wonder about the connection between hockey and horse racing here, well, the horse's owner was George Strawbridge Jr., who was active in running the Buffalo Sabres franchise for over thirty years. Also, it is worth mentioning that the National Hockey League season kicks off on October 6 and I, for one, am deliriously happy about that.
If you would like to relive Tikkanen's 1994 Breeders' Cup Turf victory, here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-6GQtduD-g. Tune in again tomorrow for a look at Saturday's Jockey Club Gold Cup. For right now, I am Gone... GOODBYE!

Guess what, as of Saturday, we have exactly 32 weeks until the 2012 Kentucky Derby!! That's right, the next Run For The Roses is practically right around the corner and the odds are already out and they are probably going to be as good as they are going to get right now.
The Wynn/Encore Sports Book has published their odds for the 2012 Derby and they have listed three favorites at 35-1: Creative Cause, Drill, and Union Rags. Drill is scheduled to be heading to the track this weekend for his first effort around two turns in the Grade 1 Norfolk Stakes at Santa Anita. Creative Cause is also listed as a possibility for that race at Santa Anita. Union Rags won over a sloppy strip in the Saratoga Special and you can likely look for him to run again in the Grade 1 Champagne next weekend at Belmont Park.
Take Charge Indy is next on the Wynn odds board at 45-1 to win the Derby next year. The runner-up in the Arlington-Washington Futurity is likely to go next on October 8 also, but he will over the synthetic at Keeneland. One of the vagaries of future wagering is that the horse that beat Take Charge Indy in the Futurity, Shared Property, currently is listed at 150-1 to win the Derby. There are also two horses at 50-1 on the Wynn list, Alpha and Fire On Ice. Alpha won his maiden start at Saratoga on September 3 and might be facing Union Rags in the Champagne. Fire On Ice is another maiden winner from the recently concluded Saratoga season, his win coming on August 27. He is also scheduled to go in the Champagne. I am kind of getting the impression that the folks at the Wynn are thinking the Derby Trail is starting in New York next week, rather than in Arcadia this week.
I'll tell you what can be quite a bit of fun. Let's pick a horse that is triple digits on the Wynn Futures List and track his progress and see if he can make it to the Big Dance on May 5 next year. Shun is a Lemon Drop Kid offspring owned by Adele Dilschneider and Claiborne Farm currently listed at 200-1 on the Future Book. He won at Turfway Park in his first career start. He won a two-turn mile in his first career start. Let's see where he goes and see if we might not be able to follow him all the way to the gate in the 139th Kentucky Derby.

The Grade 2 $1,000,000 Pennsylvania Derby
The 32nd running of the Pennsylvania Derby is the marquee event of the weekend, featuring the winner of the Belmont Stakes, the winner of two-thirds of the Canadian Triple Crown, and the runners-up in the Wood Memorial and the Travers. It is a strong field of nine that will most likely have to deal with a soggy racetrack at Parx since the Philadelphia area is currently suffering through a wet weekend with flood warnings, according to weather.com. We are going to try a bit of a different tack in our handicapping feature this week and look at each horse individually and offer a top four at the end. Here is the analysis:
#1 Ruler On Ice- The Belmont winner will certainly love the wet surface that replicates the slop he won the Test Of Champions in. He merits a look the more of a bog the racetrack will be.
#2 Arthur's Tale- Runner-up in the Wood has not been back to the races since that big effort at 21-1. His morning line here is 12-1 and he is another that could benefit from heavy rainfall.
#3 Pender Harbour- Versatile Canadian-bred won the Prince Of Wales and the Breeders' Stakes, the latter coming on the grass. He could have won all three up north with some breaks in the Queen's Plate. I think his 12-1 morning line is a great value here.
#4 Norman Asbjornson- Scored a win at Parx on September 3 in what appeared to be a prep for this spot. However, I just don't think he has the speed or the capacity to keep up with these.
#5 Rush Now- Also entered in the Grade 3 Kent at Delaware on Saturday. I think he might be a factor should he choose to go here off of a solid second to Prayer For Relief in the West Virginia Derby.
#6 Isn't He Perfect- Has not won since a Starter Allowance score at Aqueduct on the inner track in March. Another one that is not good enough to be a contender.
#7 To Honor And Serve- Trying to return to the spotlight after missing four months between the Florida Derby and the Amsterdam. Rebounded off the long layoff to win second time back at The Spa on August 26 and posted a bullet workout on September 17 over Oklahoma track.
#8 JW Blue- Rolled late to collect third money behind Stay Thirsty in the Travers on August 27. He is also double-entered in the Kent at Delaware. While he has been finishing well of late, he has not won since January, when he was at Oaklawn.
#9 Rattlesnake Bridge- Second-best in the Travers and his Tomlinson wet number indicates he should love the sloppy surface. John Velazquez rides for Kiaran McLaughlin. The Sire is Tapit, who has been producing winners all over the place.

Breeders' Cup Hero: Awesome Again
As is the custom on They Are Off when the time comes to herald in the Breeders' Cup in the autumn, I like to take a look back at some great Breeders' Cup moments and horses since the event's inception in 1984. On Thursdays for the next few weeks until this year's running of the Cup at Churchill Downs on November 4 and 5, I will continue that tradition with a look at some Breeders' Cup Heroes.
This week's Breeders' Cup Hero is admittedly a personal favorite. The winner of the 1998 Breeders' Cup Classic was Awesome Again (pictured). He defeated a star-studded field of entrants in that Classic including the 1997 Derby and Preakness winner, Silver Charm, the 1997 Breeders' Cup Classic winner, Skip Away, and the 1998 Belmont Stakes winner, Victory Gallop. I almost forgot to mention the winner of the 1998 Haskell and Travers, Coronado's Quest, the winner of Europe's Top Older Horse in 1998, Swain. It was as Tom Durkin described in his call of the Classic, "an All-Star field". The win in the Breeders' Cup would conclude an undefeated season in 1998 for Awesome Again, an outstanding year that came on the heels of his winning the most prestigious race in Canada, The Queen's Plate, in 1997. So, you might ask why is Awesome Again a personal favorite of mine? I had selected Awesome Again to win that Breeders' Cup Classic to the derision of my fellow handicappers in Houston who thought he was in over his head and I was elated to see him overtake all those magnificent challengers and win the Classic, giving me sweet revenge when it counted the most.
Awesome Again has proven to be one of the most prolific Sires of the last twenty years also. Just check out the list of phenomenal runners that he has produced: Ghostzapper, Ginger Punch, Awesome Gem, Game On Dude, Wilko, and Round Pond. I think that list qualifies as a near Who's Who of racing since Awesome Again's retirement. In recent days, Awesome Again underwent colic surgery and has returned to Adena Springs following the procedure to recuperate. It is believed that he will be able to continue as a stallion for the 2012 season.

The word from the Keeneland September Sale has been uniquely positive as far as the amount of money to be used to purchase the horses available at the sale. In 2010, the sale lasted fourteen days and the gross total of income from the sale was $198,254,900. The on-going 2011 sale is through eight days as of this writing and already the gross has exceeded last year's number with income at $198,638,200, according to DRF.com. Clearly, the Keeneland September Sale is going to shatter last year's number of gross income by a nice margin with just five days left to go. It can be said that this is certainly a rare positive sign as far as the economics of the Thoroughbred business goes. Usually, all you hear is doom and gloom as the handle, attendance, and sales figures plummet from one year to the next. This increase at Keeneland certainly shouldn't be interpreted as everything is rosy and sunshiny, but it certainly should be read as a rare shaft of light in what is otherwise a very dark time for the industry.
Meanwhile, in his column on ESPN. com, Bill Finley notes that The Jockey Club reports that the 2010 foal crop is down 13.5%, the total being approximately 27,000. Finley goes on to note that will only continue the problem of small field size that has been a near-epidemic in the sport in recent years. Unfortunately, that is true. It is simple mathematics that you cannot continue to have large fields with excellent betting opportunities if the horses just aren't there to participate. Without excellent betting opportunities, fewer and fewer bettors will be trying to hit that big score and the handle across the country should continue to reflect that with lessening numbers. As I said in the earlier paragraph, we are in the midst of a very dark time for the industry, you can take the attitude that things are darkest before the dawn, but these foal numbers indicate that dawn might still be quite a long way away.

The Grade 1 $1,000,000 Woodbine Mile
Before beginning this week's handicapping edition, I must pass along my sincere thanks to Travis Stone of Louisiana Downs and Nick Tammaro for the great work we were all a part of for the 32nd Super Derby. Travis's call was outstanding and Nick and I did manage to produce a some strong picks, so all in all, the trip was a rousing success and indeed a pleasure.
The race of the week this week is the Grade 1 $1,000,000 Woodbine Mile to be held on Sunday at Woodbine in Ontario, Canada. It is considered a key prep race each year for the Breeders' Cup Mile and there are certainly some horses in the field of twelve that will be a part of the field for the Mile in November. Here is the analysis:
My top pick for the Woodbine Mile is #4 Courageous Cat, who is working a two race win streak entering this event. He has not raced, however, since July 2, when he won the Grade 1 Shoemaker Mile at Hollywood Park at even money. The Bill Mott trainee has posted Beyer figures of 103 in each of those two wins. You have to be impressed that the horse went coast-to-coast in the space of a month for those scores, as the other of the two wins came in the Grade 3 Poker at Belmont Park. I will use #9 Side Glance in the second spot. He won the Group 3 Sovereign Stakes at Sailsbury in Great Britain last time out on August 11. He also ran 3rd in the Group 2 Summer Mile at Ascot on July 9. His Racing Post ratings in the last four starts have all been at 113 or better, so he certainly should be a factor in this spot. How about a nice juicy 30-1 shot to like in here with #3 Woodbourne? Woodbourne ran 3rd behind Court Vision (who is back to defend his title) in last year's Woodbine Mile at odds of 52-1. His first win since that shocking show finish was last time out on August 20 in an Optional Claiming race at this distance. This gelding is most definitely a horse for the course with seven wins in twenty starts over the Woodbine greenery. Finally, I will put #5 Right One in the fourth spot off the win in the Grade 3 Jaipur at Belmont on July 16. Trainer Christophe Clement has a well-deserved reputation as a turf ace and he has had this gelding on a roll since coming to North America. He has three wins and a third in four starts since arriving here in April. Here is the play for the Grade 1 Woodbine Mile:
$10 WIN #4
$1 TRI 4-9 with 3-4-5-9 with 3-4-5-6-8-9-12

The Grade 2 $500,000 Super Derby
I will be in attendance for the third straight year at the Super Derby at Louisiana Downs this Saturday, which is why the blogposts have been sparse this week (and will be next week by the way). I will be enjoying time with some friends in my old haunts in Houston upon my return from Shreveport, so this will (hopefully) be the last prolonged absence from blogging for They Are Off. Back to business, though, and the business at hand is the Grade 2 $500,000 Super Derby. Here is the analysis:
#1 Meistersinger will be my top pick in the Super Derby for trainer Graham Motion and owner Team Valor. If you recognize those connections, you should, they DID win another Derby earlier this year with a different horse. Joze Lezcano will be coming in for the ride here and the colt did post a strong workout at Fair Hill on September 3. The last two Beyers certainly should be able to prevail in this spot Saturday. #5 Prayer For Relief is a Bob Baffert trainee that has won two consecutive Derbies entering this try (West Virginia and Iowa). Rafael Bejarano was up for both Derby wins and gets the call again here. Those two wins are also the only two conventional dirt starts for this runner. #6 Alternation might have the most class of anyone in the Super Derby field if you strictly consider the PPs. He ran fourth in the Grade 2 Jim Dandy behind Horse Of The Year candidate, Stay Thirsty. He also won the Grade 2 Peter Pan this spring at Belmont Park. Alternation's main issue here might be the absence of a tremendous pace up front, since he likes to come from way behind. The price pick in the Super Derby might just be #7 Trubs, who won the Prelude at Louisiana Downs on August 6. Al Stall has done well in the Super Derby recently with Blame and Apart making their mark the last two years. Shane Sellers was up for the Prelude win and will ride again Saturday. Here is the play for the Grade 2 $500,000 Super Derby:
$20 WPS #1

The Grade 1 $250,000 Forego
Forego was one of the great handicap horses of the 1970s. He won the race that is the Saturday feature at Saratoga (The Woodward) four consecutive years (1974, 1975, 1976, and 1977). It seemed that he could carry any weight at all and run a winning race on a consistent basis. Many people, however, forget that Forego was part of the field in the 1973 Kentucky Derby that was won by Secretariat in the record time of 1:59.2 and also featured Sham's two-minute breaking performance. Forego ran fourth that day at Churchill Downs. So, in honor of the great Forego, we take a crack at handicapping the race named in his honor Saturday at Saratoga. Here is the analysis:
#7 Aikenite is the top pick in here. He was a winner at the distance of seven furlongs in the Grade 2 Churchill Downs on Derby Day in May. He is making the second start off the most recent layoff and picks up the red-hot Javier Castellano in the saddle for trainer Todd Pletcher. Aikenite also has the all-important victory over the Saratoga surface and is 3 for 5 at this elongated sprinting distance. #1 Jackson Bend is the second choice in the Forego. You might remember Jackson Bend as one of the many horses that have been cursed over the years as my top pick in a Kentucky Derby. He scored an impressive win on Opening Weekend at The Spa in the James Marvin at seven furlongs and posted an eye-popping Beyer of 108 in the victory. Corey Nakatani rode that day and gets the call again. The longshot I fancy in here is #3 Golddigger's Boy, who has rolled off a nice winning streak of five in a row in Pennsylvania. Stewart Elliott has been the jockey for all five of those aforementioned wins. This colt has been off, however, since June 25. His recent workouts have been brilliant with three straight bullets in the month of August. #5 Hamazing Destiny will round out the top four here, although he is winless in four lifetime tries at Saratoga. His most recent race at seven furlongs came two back on July 22 at Saratoga in that James Marvin won by Jackson Bend, where he finished second. Robby Albarado is in the irons for this effort. Here is the play for the Grade 1 Forego:
$5 WP #7
$1 EX BOX 1-3-5-7
$1 TRI 1-3-7 with 1-3-7 with 1-2-3-5-7-8-9
A Month To Go
I don't know about you, but as far as I am concerned, September had better go quickly now that it has arrived. I say this only because it just means we are exactly one month to the day from the start of my third season as the announcer at Turf Paradise in Phoenix. I have made a couple of trips out to the track to get primed for the start of the season and see what is in store for us during the 157-day season that will run from October 1 to May 6, the traditional Day After Derby finishing date.
I can tell you that Turf is planning to introduce a PK5 Play Of The Day this season where I try (normally in vain) to hit the 50-cent minimum wager. Of course, the idea behind this is to be somewhat economical in trying to hit the play, so you won't be seeing any $500 plays even on days where the track has a good-sized carryover. Usually, I will try to limit the play to something that won't be bankrupting anyone who dares follow my lead. Also, for those of you who remember the nightly PK4 Play Of The Day from my days in Houston, I can promise you there will not be any ridiculous celebratory images popping up on the video screens on those occasions I do hit the Play Of The Day.
Anyway, the big news of the off-season this year at Turf Paradise is the introduction of purse increases for the 38 Stakes races the track will be running during the 2011-2012 meeting. The marquee event of the season the Phoenix Gold Cup is going to be worth $75,000 this season, as is the Cotton Fitzsimmons Mile and the Turf Paradise Derby. The reason for these increases to the purses is the fact that Yavapai Downs didn't race this summer, so Turf Paradise was able to receive added revenue from OTB wagering in the state since Turf Paradise is currently operating that system.
It promises to be an exciting 56th season of racing at Turf Paradise in Phoenix. Hopefully, if you are in the neighborhood this winter, you can come by and visit the track and I look forward to seeing you out there. Tune in again tomorrow for more from They Are Off. For right now, I am Gone... GOODBYE!


As we should all know by now, success in sports betting relies on many factors. There are countless factors that are completely out of your control, so you really have to manage the factors you do have control of. One of the most important things that will help you become a more profitable long-term bettor is to have patience. A highly interesting aspect of sports betting for beginners are the emotional highs and lows that come with it.
The highs that come with good wins are obviously the most enjoyable, but for a lot of bettors, it is the wins that come after some tough losses that are the most rewarding.
There's nothing wrong at all with getting enjoyment from the emotional roller coaster that is associated with betting. However, if you want to be a profitable long-term bettor, then it is of utmost importance to keep your emotions level regardless of what happens.
One major problem which creates impatient sports bettors has to do with the expectations and mindset of sports bettors before getting into the game. Managing expectations for sports betting is an important skill, and cannot be understated. No one gets into sports betting believing they are going to lose all of their money. However, in many cases, that is exactly what happens to someone that gets lured into the emotional side of things and doesn't show discipline.
Sports bettors cannot allow themselves to blindly chase the dream of wild riches by hitting astronomical odds. However, by nature, human beings are simple minded and get persuaded easily by the big 'what if'.
It's highly important to establish guidelines from the very start, with a major focus on what it will take for you to make a profit.
The first thing you should do is establish the amount of money you are willing to bet with every wager. Note that it should not be about the amount of money you want to win, as much as it should be about the amount of money you are prepared to lose.
The second thing you want to do is establish a strict set amount for your bankroll. It's much easier to set a strategy with the idea of winning, but the key is to remain grounded even when things go wrong. This ensures that a few of losses don't snowball into risking your bankroll to make it up and then potentially losing it all. Sports bettors cannot allow themselves to blindly chase the dream of wild riches by hitting astronomical odds.
However, by nature, human beings are simple minded and get persuaded easily by the big 'what if'. The takeaway here is to effectively manage your expectations in your betting strategy. As in the equity markets, you need to ride the highs and lows, and even take a break if the lows become overpowering. Separate your emotions from sound strategy and logic, as emotional reactions are often irrational.
If you consider yourself a patient person, then keep that patience up for when you're betting. If you consider yourself impatient, do think about the consequences, and specifically, what it may mean for your prospects in betting. It is easier said than done, but you can definitely work on your patience, and in the long-term, it will pay huge dividends.
Remember to look over our previous blog posts, and to check in regularly for our weekly posts. Happy betting.
Really good article! I am an expert from Australia and totally agree with you.
The patience is the cornerstone, the most important thing for every punter.


It's far lower than expected for the 6,500 workers laid off after MG Rover went bust and follows a seven-year battle.
The compensation fund set up for the former workers had just £22,000 in the coffers, the Guardian reports - not the millions of pounds promised by MG Rover's owners in 2005. And hopes of securing a further £12.5m have just been dashed, after a legal case involving Halifax Bank of Scotland, one of the company's biggest creditors, was thrown out.
The bad news was broken to the 6,500 ex staff earlier this week and campaigners are now calling for personal donations to the fund from the 'Phoenix Four' - the owners who bought the company for just £10 in 2000 and subsequently paid themselves and the MD a total of £42m.
The disgraced quartet - Peter Beale, John Towers, Nick Stephenson and John Edwards - have since been banned from working as company directors for a total of 19 years.
When Phoenix acquired Rover in May 2000, it had the enthusiastic backing of the then Labour government and the Rover workers. But the car firm lost hundreds of millions of pounds over the next few years, and sales began to slide. In March 2005, MG Rover sold 17% fewer cars compared to the same time a year before. A month later, it was forced to call in the receivers.
But campaigners aren't holding out much hope for an attack of conscience from the former directors. 'As they have been ignoring my calls for four or five years, I'm not holding out much hope,' Carl Chinn, a trustee of the former employees' fund, said.

Decarbonizing Energy
100 Tesla Gigafactories could power the entire world with sustainable energy
Leonardo DiCaprio met with Elon Musk at the Gigafactory to talk about the future of energy.

This article is published in collaboration with Futurism
Chelsea Gohd Science Writer,
Scaling up the efforts of the world's most influential companies to run on 100% renewable power by 2050
The Gigafactory
The Tesla Gigafactory produces lithium ion batteries, supporting the Tesla vehicles and providing low-cost batteries using alternative energy sources. And, in a recent video, CEO and founder Elon Musk was actually quoted as saying:
"We actually did the calculations to figure out what it would take to transition the whole world to sustainable energy. You'd need 100 Gigafactories."
Leonardo DiCaprio met with Musk at the Gigafactory this past year to discuss renewable resources and the future of energy as it relates to climate change. Leo is no stranger to discussions about alternative energy and climate change. In fact, he recently used his first Oscar acceptance speech as an opportunity to discuss the grave realities of our changing climate and warming planet.
One main goal of the Gigafactory is to reach and maintain net zero energy. A leader in advancement and innovation, they claim that "By 2018, the Gigafactory will reach full capacity and produce more lithium ion batteries annually than were produced worldwide in 2013." The Gigafactory also aims to continue to drive down the price of these batteries, financially incentivizing the use of alternative energy sources.
As Leo enters the factory, he is struck by the sleek efficiency, exclaiming, "Holy crap, that's a good robot." He and Musk continue on, with Musk emphasizing that "the sooner we can take action, the less harm will result," in regards to man-made climate change.
As put simply by Musk in the video, "the sun doesn't shine all the time, so you've got to store it in a battery." And, if we are able to shift more completely towards alternative and renewable energy sources, Musk claims that, "you could avoid building electricity plants at all."
When some people think about alternative energy, they think of outdated, bulky solar panels that lack efficiency and are a massive financial drain. However, alternative energy technology is far beyond that. As the realities of climate change set in, it is becoming more and more obvious that we cannot wait. We cannot go another ten years using fossil fuels at the rate that we currently do and not experience the effects.
Solar cells are more efficient than ever. In fact, inspired by photosynthesis, researchers recently combined the principles of quantum physics and biology to drastically improve current solar capabilities. Solar cells are no longer even necessary to capture solar energy, as scientists have created a synthetic leaf that does just that, while converting carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide.
To fight climate change, we need to 'Uberize' the energy industry
Tesla's electric truck 'needs the energy of 4,000 homes to recharge', say researchers
This is how Elon Musk set out to achieve his Tesla 'master plan'
There is no question: alternative energy is the future. We will not progress without it, and, as recent advancements have shown, it is becoming a more possible and powerful option with each passing day. If Musk is right, and these low-cost, green batteries could help to support a future where alternative energy is the majority, then his Gigafactory could be one of many steps in the right direction.

Concert review | Bruce Springsteen rocks like it's still the '80s
Curtis Schieber, For The Columbus Dispatch
Though few artists would regret releasing an album such as Bruce Springsteen's fifth release, 1980's "The River," whose 20-song double album raised eyebrows for its length and sprawling themes, the Boss revisited the entire album, song-for-song, in Value City Arena on Tuesday night. The tour supports "The Ties That Bind: The River Collection," a multi-CD reissue.
Rethinking or retooling an album once it is released is far less likely than regretting it.
Though few artists would regret releasing an album such as Bruce Springsteen�s fifth release, 1980's �The River,� whose 20-song double album raised eyebrows for its length and sprawling themes, the Boss revisited the entire album, song-for-song, in Value City Arena on Tuesday night. The tour supports �The Ties That Bind: The River Collection,� a multi-CD reissue.
The first four albums were �young man�s records,� said Springsteen, as he introduced the program for the first part of the evening. With �The River� the songwriter began to explore his place in the larger community and his role in its smaller orbit, the family.
It was interesting that � as heard Tuesday night � more of the young man was present in those songs than he might have imagined.
Most important for the sold-out arena crowd, the singer, at 66, was able to rock nearly as hard as when the album was released. All-out rockers such as �Sherry Darling,� which steamrolled into the audience on the back of Charlie Giordano�s Hammond organ, and �Crush On You,� a classic rock-and-roll song that feels like one still, displayed not only his still-potent energy but the killer ensemble playing of a seasoned band, most of which has honed its communal chops for decades.
To wit, drummer Marvelous Max Weinberg nailed the bottom all night with bassist Garry Tallent, while the double guitar attack of Nils Lofgren and Steve Van Zandt made the sound swing and also crunch. All of the E Street band seemed to be living as though it were 35 years ago.
But the first part was all about coming to terms with personal history for Springsteen.
When he performed romantic songs such as �Drive All Night,� which testified maybe a bit too long, and �I Wanna Marry You,� he sounded like the familiar romantic of his earliest days. When he rocked out in tunes such as �Cadillac Ranch� and others, he sounded like the party boy of old.
And when he delivered songs such as �The Price You Pay,� �The River� and �Fade Away,� he seemed to be finding that he saw the fallout all along.
If �Hungry Heart� � a celebratory performance Tuesday night that featured Springsteen surfing all over the crowd � was a sign that even when reality sets in, life is still good, �Independence Day� suggested he knew even then what growing up would mean.
If there was a song that with relistening sounds more significant and devastating today than it did Tuesday night, it was the album�s closer, �Wreck On The Highway.� A grim scenario finishing the cycle of songs, it seems to suggest it doesn�t matter because it might all slip away at any moment. On Tuesday, it was almost perfunctory, as if the writer had come to realize that the meat of the record is, in fact, the meat of life.
Springsteen began a second show of hits without stop as deadline called.
